Definitions

  • the invention relates to an RFID reading tunnel for identifying objects by means of RFID according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • RFID reading tunnels are for example from the publications DE 100 40 550 A1 .
  • EP 1 064 568 B1 and WO 2009/002156 A1 known and frequently installed on automatic baggage or parcel sorting equipment.
  • Each object (baggage item or package) carries an RFID transponder, which is read by an RFID reader, so that according to the information stored in the transponder an individual further treatment of the object can take place.
  • the RFID reader only works with an RFID antenna that transmits and / or receives the electromagnetic radiation. Since such antennas scatter strongly in the radio frequency range and the radiation on the one hand disturbs the outside of the reading station and on the other hand the radiation itself is disturbed by surrounding metal surfaces or objects, a shield is provided which shields on the one hand and on the other hand creates constant electromagnetic reading conditions in the reading area. Because of the large reading range of such systems and the desired all-round shielding, with inlets and outlets for the objects must remain, such a shield forms a tunnel.
  • Each reading tunnel is dimensioned individually according to the intended use and manufactured individually, in order to create constant electromagnetic environmental conditions at the most diverse systems in the reading area.
  • a reading tunnel for a department store known, in which the goods by means of PLIM modules (planar light illumination module) optically identified, for example by means of bar code reading.
  • the reading tunnel has an RFID deactivation device with which RFID tags of an anti-theft system can be deactivated.
  • a set of predefined and therefore quasi-standardized modules is provided, from which the designer selects modules and thus sets up the tunnel. Since the modules are predefined, they have less to consider and only the desired geometry or size of the tunnel from the given modules build up. This not only means a considerable simplification in the design and installation of the tunnel according to the invention, but also offers the advantageous possibility to make a simple adaptation of an existing tunnel to new conditions. Such new conditions may arise, for example, when replacing parts of the system, eg the conveyor belt, namely, if the new conveyor belt has a different width. Also, the invention provides the ability to break down an existing tunnel according to the invention of a plant and to reinstall at another plant, which can be made a very convenient adaptation to the geometry by the modularity. Overall, the modular design allows a flexible realization of different requirements with little individual engineering effort.
  • the modules and thus the tunnel are very easy to transport and easy to install on site. Hoists or more people are not necessary for the construction. Transport and assembly costs are thus significantly reduced.
  • the predefined modules are designed according to the features of claim 2. With such a set of modules, most requirements for RFID reading tunnels can be met.
  • the modules are at predefined angles to each other via corresponding connectors connectable.
  • the connecting elements can all be designed identically and have only different angles, so that a respective associated connecting element is provided for a certain angle.
  • the standard modules are rectangular and all modules have the same length. It would make sense if there are at least two different widths. This significantly and variably increases the variability in the design of a tunnel.
  • the module length defines the tunnel length.
  • at least one additional module is provided according to the features of claim 8 in development of the invention.
  • a module is arranged below the storage or conveyor in the invention, which shields the reading volume in the tunnel from below and optionally formed as a standard module with antenna.
  • An inventive RFID reading tunnel 10 is in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 mounted on a conveyor belt 12.
  • the conveyor belt 12 conveys objects, not shown, which carry an RFID transponder (also called an RFID tag) in a direction 14 through the tunnel 10.
  • RFID antennas 16 are arranged, which transmit and receive corresponding RFID signals in order to be able to read out and / or write to the transponders within the tunnel 10 in a reading area 20.
  • the antennas 16 are connected to an RFID reader 18.
  • the tunnel 10 and the conveyor belt 12 are mounted on a frame 22.
  • the reading region 20 is bounded by the tunneling shield 24.
  • the shield 24 includes side walls 26 and top portions 28 and in the embodiment of FIG Fig. 1 to 3 also lower parts 29.
  • the side walls 26, ceiling parts 28 and lower parts 29 are inventively formed by modules, which in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to 3 are constructed of only two different standard modules 30-1 and 30-2.
  • the standard module 30-1 is in a perspective view in FIG Fig. 5 and has a rectangular trough-like base body 34-1 with a tub bottom 36-1 and well longitudinal side walls 38-1 and 40-1 with a length L-1 and tub end walls 42-1 and 44-1 with a length B-1. In the interior of the trough-like base body 34-1 one of the RFID antennas 16 is attached.
  • the standard module 30-2, which is in perspective view in FIG Fig. 4 is analogous to the module 30-1 constructed with base body 34-2, trough bottom 36-2, Wannenlibilsseit conceptn 38-2 and 40-2 and Tannenstirn beaurn beaurn beaurn cleanse practicen 42-2 and 44-2.
  • the width B-2 of the module 30-2 is smaller.
  • an absorber absorbing electromagnetic radiation may be provided in the interior of the tubs 34-1 and 34-2.
  • a set of predefined modules can be designed as standard modules, wherein the standard modules in the described manner can simply consist of the trough-like base body and thus form a simple shielding module or can contain an additional absorber or contain an antenna or both antenna and absorber can contain.
  • Such a set would then have four different standard modules from the structure, which may optionally have two different widths.
  • the standard modules are connected to one another in predefined angles with each other via respective connecting elements 50 along their longitudinal sides variably and detachably.
  • the connecting elements 50 are all of a similar design and are used to connect the modules along their longitudinal sides 36-x and 38-x ("x" is placeholders for "1" or "2") at the end faces 42-x and 44-x.
  • Fig. 1 to 3 consist of the connecting elements 50 of a metal plate 52, which connect via correspondingly positioned holes 54 two modules 30-1 and 30-2 by means of fasteners, such as screws.
  • the modules also have correspondingly positioned holes 56-1 and 56-2 for the fastening means in their end faces.
  • the holes 54 of the connector 50 are positioned such that the connected modules 30-1 and 30-2 form an angle of 135 °.
  • Fig. 7 shows, in which the connecting element 50-a dimensioned and the holes 54-a are positioned so that the connected modules include an angle of 120 °.
  • the reading tunnel consists of four standard modules 30-1.
  • an RFID reading tunnel is thus constructed, which can be designed very flexibly.
  • At least one standard module serves as a shield and at least one standard module must contain an RFID antenna so that an RFID reading is even possible.
  • a standard module with an antenna is arranged below the depositing or conveying device, which shields the reading volume in the tunnel from below and can read an RFID tag by means of the antenna.
  • additional modules may be provided.
  • Such an additional module basically has the same structure as a standard module, that is, has the trough-like base body with the same dimensions as a standard module.
  • an additional device such as a bar code reader for reading a bar code and / or a camera for detecting object features and / or a sensor, e.g. Laser scanner, for volume determination and a sensor for determining weight. Since the additional module is constructed like a standard module, it can replace a standard module in the tunnel, so that a reading tunnel equipped in this way can fulfill additional functions, such as barcode reading, in addition to an RFID reading.
